On KJHK (KU's student-run radio station), they run a promo that says it was the first radio station to broadcast over the Internet. Is that true? I can't tell if they're kidding.

They're not kidding. "We were the first station to broadcast a live, continuous signal over the Internet," said Gary Hawke, general manager at KJHK. Others had tried and got some blips, but KJHK was the first to come up with a continuous signal.

The station's accomplishment, Hawke said, has been substantiated by the National Association of Broadcasters and mentioned in Rolling Stone and Sports Illustrated magazine.
